Setting for Appearance of Active Group Pane
posted

Hi.  Is there a way to set the tab appearance of the active group pane so the tab is a different color than the rest?  It can be difficult to tell which tab is active.  Currently, when the mouse is over the tab, it has a different appearance.  I'd like to use that same appearance when ever a tab is showing the active dock pane.

Here's what it looks like now:

Here's what I want it to look like:  (looks like this with the mouse over the tab)

Thanks.

    Hello gregstoops,

    I have researched your scenario and I would suggest an approach like the following:

    setting these three properties:

                ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveTabAppearance.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(224)))), ((int)(((byte)(192)))));

                ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveTabAppearance.BackColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(128)))));

                ultraDockManager1.DefaultPaneSettings.ActiveTabAppearance.BackGradientStyle = GradientStyle.Vertical;
